My wife's road bike is a Synapse Sora from '15 or so. The crank and BB have been perfect so far. No maintenance no issues.

A couple years ago I worked probably 6 times thru the summer on a Synapse Disc Tiagra that was a raging POS. The bottom bracket/crankset clicked no matter what was done. It was a teen's bike who I train with thru the spring and summer and the bike shop couldnt get it to stop, neither could I. It was annoying to even ride with him, much less be the rider of that bike. I ended up giving a Shimano crankset to him and he had to buy a Wheels Mfg BB adapter. Noise was gone after that.

A metal bottom bracket shell should have threads. Simple as that.
